Publisher's summary

Heath Oakes is a millennial who has achieved great success helping others through leadership by example. In Ignorance on Fire: A Journey of Failing Your Way to Success, he shares the basic principles that helped him find the definition of true success and turn his failures into opportunities to help others. The lessons he learned are woven into the story of his journey from a barely educated young man looking to make a lot of money to the youngest executive in the history of a Fortune 500 company. Throughout the book, he demonstrates leadership by example, and how money and material possessions are the by-products - not the definition - of success.

Bob Burg, coauthor of The Go-Giver, described the book as follows: "Wow - leadership lessons from a top producer that each and every one of us can benefit from greatly! Prepare to be inspired, educated, and ready to go out and make things happen through focusing on helping others make things happen for themselves."

On my leadership MUST READ list

Where does Ignorance on Fire rank among all the audiobooks you’ve listened to so far?

I enjoyed the insight and lessons shared by Heath Oakes in the paperback version of this book and was thrilled to now be able to access it again and again in my head!

What did you like best about this story?

I am particularly drawn to the lessons of not only not giving up on what you want, but taking personal responsibility for the future you desire and the integrity needed to get you there.

What about Heath Oakes’s performance did you like?

I love listening to the wisdom and insight from Heath Oakes' on the podcast, Second Shot with Chad Prather and Heath Oakes, so I was thrilled to now have the audio version of a book that I already love that I can now take with me everywhere that I go and listen to over and over.

Any additional comments?

It was an instant hit for my leadership must read and share list.

Don’t be ignorant BUY IT!!!!

I LOVE this book! Every one should be striving for success the way Health has. He made me realize my whole life’s failures have brought me to where I am today. Thanks to where I am I met Jenny which led me to This book which I was sad when he said THE END but now I have Second Shot Podcast to keep me on the right track to strive to be better every day for the rest of my life! Thank you so much for realizing ignorance is just another word for Genius! Ha ha LOVE you guys!
